Vintage Maine & Modern Convenience in Portlands Exclusive East End

Our beautiful 2nd floor apartment is nicknamed ‘The Haven’ because it’s a perfect retreat. After a day of exploring, return to this quiet, cozy authentically ‘Portland’ apartment just a short walk from all of the city’s most desirable destinations.

The apartment has the charm of an old Maine cabin with all the modern conveniences. You’ll find sliding barn doors and bead board and a clawfoot tub and butcher block counter, along with a smart TV and Bluetooth speakers. Plenty of fluffy cotton towels and all the basic toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, razors, tampons, first aid kit) stock the bathroom. In the kitchen, you’ll find fresh local coffee, tea, cream, sugar, olive oil, vinegar, sea salt and pepper grinder, and many basic spices.
HOUSE RULES & PET RULES - Please read carefully

NO BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE WEEKENDS. Unfortunately we’ve found that the heavy drinking that has accompanied bachelor/bachelorette groups has resulted in disturbances of the peace for our other guests and neighbors. Bookings confirmed before 7/22/24 will be honored but strict adherence to all House Rules is required. If your group disturbs the peace you can be charged a noise fee starting at $100.

Part of the charm of this space is its location on a quiet tree lined street on the East End. Out of respect for our neighbors, other guests, and us - guests are required to agree to a few simple rules.

- Quiet hours 10pm to 7am. Music, TV, and voices should always be at normal levels.
- When returning from nights out, whether on the street or inside the building, please keep your voices low - be respectful that others in the neighborhood are sleeping and are not on vacation.
- No parties or events at all
- Please do not bring glasses or indoor furniture or bedding onto deck
- No music outside or on deck
- No open flames or candles, inside or outside
- Children are not allowed on deck unless attended by a responsible mature adult at all times
- Never sit or lean on deck railings. Never climb over railings onto the roof for any reason
- No smoking is allowed in the building, including on any deck, or front or back entryways
- We ask that you please remove shoes inside
- No cutting directly on the kitchen counters. Please use cutting boards
- Bikes: We welcome pedalers. Please do not bring bikes inside the building. You may lock them to the ‘black wave’ bike rack. The bike rack is located behind the house (for all guests at 70 Waterville Street).
- Pets: please make your request for approval of your pet in advance. All guests with pets will be asked to review and agree to our Rules below for Furry Family and pay a pet fee
- The booking guest, as our only contact for your group, is responsible for the rest of the group, so please make sure everyone in your group is made aware of these rules and is willing to abide by them
- Before checking out, please walk through all rooms to check for forgotten items. Message us if you see notice any damage or any extra cleaning needed
----------
RULES FOR FURRY FAMILY
Please review the Rules for Furry Family below closely, and reply confirming you will abide by them. We are very much animal lovers, and they are a big part of our lives! As such, we have come up with these rules with the happiness and safety of all of our guests in mind (animal as well as human).

Rules for Furry Family
- Dogs may not be left alone for more than 2 hours without a break. Separation anxiety is more common than you might think, and it’s preventable. There are lots of dog-friendly patios where you can bring your pup with you and have a great meal. Pet sitters who can look after your pet are available through Rovers.com. Please plan ahead…call places you might want to go, and/or book a pet sitter in advance
- You are required to leave your phone on at all times and be ready to return to your rental right away should there be reports of noise coming from your furry friend while you are out
- Our spaces are in a quiet neighborhood and in historic buildings where noise travels. Occasional ‘hello!’ barks are fine, but ongoing barking, whining or howling will likely disrupt other guests or neighbors
- Crates for adult dogs are strongly encouraged, and are required for puppies up to one year old
- For the safety of all, when entering and exiting our apartments and on our grounds you are required to use a leash. Portland has a leash law requiring dogs be on leashes 8’ or shorter in all public spaces
- Please bring your dog’s bed or travel mat; and a pet blanket if your pet is accustomed to getting on the furniture
- Damage, for example chewing, scratching, marking/other stains; are your responsibility
- Potty breaks: Please take a nice stroll through our beautiful neighborhood rather than using our courtyard or garden
- Please pick up! Look for the small metal trash bin (70 Waterville Street), or the large black square trash bins (62 Monument Street)

Pet fee: we charge a $50 pet fee per reservation for up to two pets for stays up to 4 nights; or per pet for longer stays. All proceeds from pet fees are donated to the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland and Portland Trails, two local organizations instrumental in animal welfare and outdoor access for dogs.

Nice Portland Stay
Nice quiet two bedroom apartment. Great location, easy access to all the hotspots. Only complaint would be the barn doors, especially for the bathroom. Limited privacy when sharing with two couples, but it was doable. Overall very nice.

The location was the shining star, but the very comfortable mattresses and Maine style were perfect as well! The host was very responsive and texted us to make sure we were doing well. It was very clean too!

Good location - steep stairs
Portland is very expensive and the pricetag for this unit was one of the attractions. It worked reasonably well for our brief stay, but the house is very old and stairs quite steep. Not idea for individuals whose mobility is not at peak levels. The location is good, but also presented a bit of a challenge for my husband and me - steep hills. Furnishings could use a refresh. Communications with property manager were excellent. Really appreciated the flexibility on check-in time.

Fantastic stay!
I planned a 30th birthday surprise trip to Portland for my partner with his best friend and his fiancée. The four of us had a wonderful time staying at Kathy’s apartment - it is a perfect location on a quiet, cute neighborhood block, easy walking to the East end promenade and into the city, and we thoroughly enjoyed hanging out together and playing board games in the communal spaces. Great aesthetic and ambiance, too! I would definitely stay here again!

Portland 2 bedroom
Overall ok but the linens and bed covers were old, frayed etc. We used the living room futon for guest #3 (it’s old and pleather) and found linens and a coverlet for it balled up on the floor in a closet, yuk, and the wrong size for it. Management did bring over replacements that evening. Hopefully new sheets and coverlets appear before the next rental. Be aware of all the stairs (2nd floor) if you have to drag suitcases up and down. And you have to stack cars for parking in the driveway by coordinating with other guests so there’s that. But if you’re in ok shape walking to town is ok but hilly.

Girlfriend get-together
My girlfriends and I got together for several days in Portland. This place was perfect for us. It provided us enough space and comfortable beds. The apartment was stocked well. We liked the neighborhood and felt safe. We were able to walk to most places. The few things we would recommend: the hall is prone to slips and needs something. Also the door to the bathroom is awkward with gaps. We were girlfriends and ok with each other but if we were mixed company this would not be ok. We would rent again. Thank you

Very cool flat
This flat is maintained very well. The host is very attentive to every request. She goes above and beyond to make one feel comfortable. It’s really clean, the beds are very comfortable, and the temperature is easily controlled between warm and cool. The kitchen has everything you need but minimalist in nature. Sweet little porch balcony off the kitchen. The only thing to note is it’s not located centrally in downtown. It’s a little under a mile walk to the ferry and a bit hilly. Fine for most unless you are like us and have a teen with some mobility issues. Overall we stayed here again as the host and flat are both wonderful!

Great location
Cute apartment in a great location! Nice and clean and easy to get to. This was a perfect spot for my family to stay so we could visit my son who just moved to Portland. Indoor barn doors are stylish but don’t offer a huge amount of privacy for the bathroom. It wasn’t that big of a deal, but just a heads up. Lots of outdoor dining close to this spot - awesome food! Definitely recommend a stay!
